Can we get a wellness check on Laura?:eek:

This is like a random picture of a cut injury with the title, "I hurt". Need more information.

Sorry Scot. You’ve had a hell of a run of terrible luck.

I popped the rear hatch today and noticed that the trim around the rear hatch window is a bit loose. It curves into the windowed area. It didn't pop back in when I pressed on it. I figure it is best to just leave it alone. Anyone successfully popped this back in? I'm not sure this warrants...

334 wh/mi. I think I can get that number higher.

On month six of my Plaid. I came out of 2020 BMW M5. I have nothing but excitement every time I drive my Plaid. I love this car. Will get another one most likely.

The red looks really good!

First MSP for me taken in December. Had to have the rear bumper repained and the diffuser replaced. This was due to a different factory paint color having dripped on my grey car and under the clear coat.

Agree completely with all of that.:cool:

Yoke and white interior here. Would reorder both in a heartbeat.

I saw a Model S non-refresh on the side of the road recently during my morning commute with a wheel that looked just like that and no other damage. So I don’t think it had been hit by anothe vehicle or had hit any object. Glad you are okay.

That’s actually great advice!

Porsche has always had a very heavy hp tax. It will be interesting to see how they respond going forward to competition in the market on hp given the EV paradigm.

The only downside to Plaid mode is your smile muscles in your face can get fatigued.

Good point. I was wondering myself about the final speed and what was hindering it.

7:25.23 is amazing!

Your last statement couldn’t be more true. I finally got them to reimburse me for a repair. Took forever.

It is good advise to use break properly.🤣 So true.

2023 S Plaid and was just driving my wife and talking about how quiet the car is. 21” Michelins. Came out of fairly quiet 2020 M5 so I’m used to quiet cabins.

Fixed mine with gaffer’s tape a month ago. No rattle since then.

My 2023 came with Michelins 21”

I drive in sport suspension mode. I have that 80+ vibration as well. Today I put the suspension in comfort and the vibration became much better. Didn’t go away completely. But was pretty subtle.

Some states are rather harsh in their limitations on vehicular modification.

Some tasteful under car lighting would really set that off.

I live under a rock and had not thought about this. Thanks for posting Blkswn. Makes sense. I still will likely stay in Plaid mode even on trips. On a side note I love the heating and cooling benefits of that subterranean life even if the trade off is deep nescience about Tesla efficiencies.

Thanks for the heads up.

Beadoc has entered the chat.🤣 I've noticed the same vibration over 80. Haven't done anything about it yet.

I've got MSM on white. Love it. blue on white is fantastic. No wrong choice here. But, I love the white and since not real leather have zero issues with dye transfer or getting dirty. They wipe off easily and are less hot during sunny days.

Ah. Glad you got back on the road. Thought you had 21 inch tires. But 19s are similar. Tire Size Comparison Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference 285/40-19 4.5in 14.0in 28.0in 87.9in 721 0.0% 275/40-19 4.3in...

Costco is wrong. In addition to your doorjamb being correct our mutual Tesla S owner's manual lists 255/45/R19 and 285/40/R19 as the proper sizes. Match the correct sizes or you may get errors and odometer issues. I would only run all of one type of tire make/model for the car and not mix and...

Was on vacation for two weeks and just drove the S Plaid today. Love this car. Missed driving it. I came out of 20 M5 and will never get used to or bored with the acceleration of the Plaid.

It would be 8,640 kj of energy to dissipate versus 6,610.

Life is too short for me to latch the back seats in a hyper nuanced way. Just added the tape and no rattle now.

Small amount of black 2” gaffer’s tape and problem completely solved. No rattles.

Long term BMW M driver. Got out of a 2020 M5 in December for an S Plaid. Never looking back. The S is my favorite car I’ve had.

Appreciate the feedback.

Same rattle. Have narrowed it down to the seatback latches. What type of tape did you use? Did you just need to do the horizontal part of the metal "U" or both sides to get the noise to stop?

Youtuber Out of Spec Reviews just did a video on his new round wheel on his S Plaid. Might be of interest. Didn't know if I can post YT links in here.

I’m enjoying the massive step back. You’ll be okay. Go with the wheel.

Can’t imagine the car without the yoke. Love it. Completely cool with people having different takes on this.

I’m guessing there are liability issues with giving you the airbag which has an explosive charge on it. Just guessing.

There are people that need to get from A to B and there are people that enjoy the hell out of the journey.

I use it and love it. It is usually right so it saves me a step. I never trust it and always verify the direction that I want to travel. Definitely not turning it off.

Looks like you see less of the middle screen. The big one on your right.

Looks like the regular steering wheel also blocks out some of the main center screen as well.

The Plaid exists to convert electrons into joy and occasionally terror.

amen

I think they specifically had to accommodate 1050 ft-lbs of torque that immediately occurs at 1 rpm. So that is immensely closer to exotic cars than KIAs.
